WILTON GROWTH AREA

Wilton is set to grow into a vibrant, healthy and sustainable community, delivering 15,000 new homes that will be supported by 15,000 jobs, new infrastructure, schools, community facilities and open space across over the next twenty years. Wilton 2040 sets the land use vision and structure for the area, comprising six sub-precincts which will be supported by Council though a neighbourhood planning process.

Wilton will be known for its protection and conservation of the natural environment, where local communities and local businesses thrive. Wilton will provide a range of housing types including affordable options that will cater for the diverse needs of the community. The map shown is the Structure Plan for the Wilton Growth Area.

The majority of the planning for Wilton is led by the NSW Department of Planning and Environment (DPE), in close collaboration with Council to ensure a well-planned town. Council will continue to advocate for the delivery of key services and infrastructure such as electrified rail, bus services, community facilities and open space.

To promote sustainable growth, all precincts have a maximum number of homes that can be delivered to ensure development does not exceed the15,000 homes planned by the State. The Maldon Precinct will be predominantly an employment area focused on industry and providing local jobs.

WHAT HAS HAPPENED SO FAR?

Bingara Gorge is already under development, with South East Wilton and Wilton North precinct rezoned and undergoing further planning. The draft Wilton Town Centre Precinct rezoning planning package was on exhibition December 2020 and the rezoning took effect on 30 June, 2023.

West Wilton, South Wilton and Maldon will be rezoned in the future, however significant planning work is needed before these precincts progress. For more information on Councils planning priorities refer to Wollondilly 2040, our local strategic planning statement.

The Wilton Development Control Plan (DCP) was finalised 23 August 2021. The DCP provides detailed design guidelines to make sure new development aligns with the Wilton 2040 vision to create a liveable new place in the natural environment. The DCP will be amended over time to include guidelines for other types of development expected in the Wilton Town Centre and other precincts once rezoned.

The draft Wilton Growth Area Housing Complying Development Code (Wilton CDC) explanation of intended effects was on public exhibition 23 August to 20 September 2021. The proposed changes from the exhibition have resulted in the Wilton Greenfield Housing Code variation, which was finalised on 2 December 2022. It represents a customised version of the Greenfield Housing Code that aims to reflect the landscape, amenity and biodiversity values of the Wilton DCP while providing a complying development planning pathway for low density residential development in North and South East Wilton.
